The phonocar´s firmware is not the same.

I would like to have android 2.3. Also have your custom firmware on my radio. Would there be any way to do this?
[Android Head-Units] kirill.lrnv:
The system you have is different: processor, memory, motherboard... every thing is programmed in the firmware. To use this firmware, you have to change your system/unit.

You can ask the developer to get the needed firmware for you. I, personally, don't program anything, except for my kids. :)

Bt Dongle

I finally received a Bt dongle, unfortunately, it does NOT work.
[Android Head-Units] Defender666:
I'm looking for a good Android Car Stereo for my Seat Leon 1P. Currently I have the RNS510 i want to change to an Android device to include DVR and Cameras and Internet in my car.

The device should have good FM radio reception what device can you recommend I believe this thread is not any more about the original Ouku so what device currently gives the best experience. Regardless of the price.
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
In Imag1165 and 1172 you have the location and how to wire the OTG port... You could do it in under 10 minutes, including soldering and putting the unit back together!

I tested the USB OTG Port on the S150 again now the unit is working again, and what do you know? I NOW HAVE A WORKING ADB SHELL!

The drivers that work are the ones from the Google SDK, probably It didn't worked before because the unit was bricked!

I want to thank Bypo again, without him we wouldn't be here today... now, what can we do with it? ;)

P.S.: I edited the photos so you understand faster where is the location for both USB ports I found and the right pinout for them.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
... with a working OTG, you could for example use a USB-based OBDII interface and it should be directly usable in Torque, no ? Or am I wrong ?

That way Wifi would stay usable for comms and BT for handsfree on the S150.

I'd like that !:fingers-crossed:
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
Don't we already have access to host ports? Or am I wrong...? The whole idea was to make the unit act as a device...not as a host!
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
You are right, We have 2 working host ports. Access to adb is good. For example you could root the unit (if Framaroot would not work, one example). I saved all your info and photos (just in case) but I hope I will not need to use it. My unit works without problems never hanged or something. The only known bug is the incomplete boot (you described it), I try not to get there (have to teach my wife also).Like I said I don't want to do any update , especially after learning your story. I know that resetting the unit (factory defaults) fixes the errors, but I need a wifi connection after that to install some of my apps, I hope it does not happen when I travel. At least I don't need wifi to reinstall my Navi app.

Sometime the radio does not start, I see the app screen but there is no music but this is easy, just go to main menu and push the radio icon and it starts. There is some timing issue probably but it's an easy work around.

I read in this thread about newer units with 4.1 which hang and need a power off! This is bad. S150 looks stabile at least. Anyway I would not go back to a small PND GPS and I reconsidered using a tablet. The last thing you need in case of an accident is a heavy tablet flying through the car.
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
I hear you, and from what I've read a lot of you people want a working OBD2 driver. This is one of the steps I still want to make with this unit, as I use BT for phone calls and WiFi for data access trough my phone.

From what I've understand, there is no possibility to insert the driver in the firmware, kernel has been compiled with modversions (WTF is that?).

I had an idea, It was used with great success before on my phone.

Compile the driver as a kernel module .ko, and make a boot scrip to load it every time the unit boots up? Is it feasible? Bypo, you seem to be the more software inclined here... Can you try to compile it?

Or are there already compiled versions of this?

To understand what I'm saying and get a big boost, read my signature, the JB ROOT of the HTC ONE S is based on this idea.

P.S.: I'll look into it (without too much hope, I don't even have the hardware OBD2 interface) but I'm just too rusty and with too little time in my hands!
[Android Head-Units] Droid08:
Did you import it or is there a UK seller?
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Imported from Hong Kong.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
As I wrote ages ago : I've got the S150 running and working OBD2 through Wifi. It's a bit messy, but it works. Anything that comes afterwards is extra. I keep lurking into this thread now and then to see if there's something new.

I'm an electronics engineer myself, but sadly lack the time and knowledge to play around with this device.

The S150 is pretty stable (I haven't had the "tuner not running" issue yet), doesn't crash, boot times are reasonable and the audio part is good. The powerdemand in off-mode is very good. Given the price of the unit, I recon it will last a year or 2 and after that, I'll be moving on to a better unit which by that time will have undoubtably surfaced, providing better screens, higher resolution, sleep modes, new android versions, faster hardware ect ect.

But till then, the S150 does what it has to, and does it well enough, and I'm curious whatever the future will bring.

If there's ONE above all things I'd like to see, it would be a better radio app. Something that allows presets to be selected easier, and would have a usable RDS system instead of the current "10 characters Wide" thingy.
[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
Man this guy is good!

http://brady.thtech.net/

Ok, I've found this blog, this guy has done exactly what I've said but for the OUKU! Sadly, his knowledge of Linux is light years ahead of mine, I don't think I'll ever manage to do this for my unit (S150).

P.S.: I'll try later just to copy the kernel module, and try to install (0-5% chance) it to see if the kernel panics..., maybe we're in luck and the two units are more alike than we think ;).

Can I risk something by doing that? If module would fail to install it should throw an error message right? Not brick the unit or something?

I want to buy the same hardware and to connect it using a self powered hub to one of my host ports!
[Android Head-Units] livingrock21:
In the manual, does it talk about being canbus capable? I'm wondering because when I asked if it would link up to my jeeps canbus system, the seller said it would not. If it is canbus capable, it would though.

Also, I'm really looking forward to a video review of this unit. I hope your able to do a pretty indepth review as I'm definitely considering this unit, but am also considering the Ouku unit as well especially due to all the support..
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
Well, i'm not an android developer but an IT passionate. I also have been a Linux System administrator for years.

I've tried to compile obd driver (ft232.ko) for my usb interface.

The problem is that S150 Android is a bit locked than the one on the pumpkin unit.

However I think that with adb, at least, should be possible to unlock boot loader and make some tweaks to get obd driver working.

I'll try in next days but I cannot assure anything ;)

Bye,

I would like to know if my version is updated or older with respect to the one posted by blue swede. I was wondering if this firmware has the radio bugs fixed:

- AF Setting will disappear at next reboot

- AF (Alternate Frequency) even if ON, doesn't change to forseen better quality radio frequency (useless)

Thank you.

[Android Head-Units] mihaiolimpiu:
It's updated already... 05.2013

The version I had 11.2012 changed the radio to an alternate frequency, but usually changed to ANOTHER radio station :) That is a JOKE in itself...
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
If you start off by just trying to manually load the module rather than making it so that it loads at every boot, you should have no problems, if something goes wrong a simple reboot will fix it.

Though from what I understand the chipset is significantly different between the two units (Freescale vs. Samsung) so it is unlikely to work, if you can find some compatible sources you should be able to build a kernel module the same way that he did.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Also does anyone have any problems with the latest facebook app on their ouku? Mine seems to display only in the center portion of the screen, if I roll back to an older version all is fine, but then I get the annoying market update notification.

The file "System.img" that contains I think OS, apps, drivers, etc. has the same date and size in both firmwares.

So I fixed my Facebook issue by installing xposed frame work and the per settings app and just checking the x-large res check box. Now I have full screen FB back. Xposed framework is available here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44034334#post44034334 note that this is the 2.3 GB version don't download the regular version that is for 4.0 ICS and later.

Also I found a permanent solution for downloading large apps from the play store. Download SManager and create a script with the following code, set it to run at boot and with SU permissions.

umount /cache
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /
rmdir /cache
ln -s /data/cache /cache

You will also want to create a folder called 'cache' in the data folder.

I mean how to download large apps from store...is it the same issue?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9082 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
No different issue.

Download Smanager from the play store

Open it and just hit 'ok' on the pop up

Press menu button and then select 'new script'

Name the script something like "movecache" hit ok and select SM editor to open the new script

Type in code I posted above and then hit menu and save

Hit back and click on the 'movecache' (or whatever you named it) file at the bottom of the list

In the new window check the SU and Boot boxes and hit save then exit

Open terminal emulator and type the following:

su
mkdir /data/cache

Now reboot the unit and every time it boots it will link the cache folder (where the play store apps are temporarily downloaded) to the data partition where there is plenty of room. The OUKU unit will move the cache folder at each boot so that is why we need this script to run each time to move it back to the data partition.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
On the site I found a workaround about the problem I had on the radio. On my unit, when pressing the "search" button, it will not search the next frequency, but switch to next stored station. Entering in the "factory Menu" via BT, I selected UI="Winca" and now the radio search is working good. I am waiting to see if this setting will fix also the "AF" issue.

Another problem I have, is about the haedware button "Menu", if pressed it beeps but do anything in all apps.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
??? Changing the UI changes the seek functionality ??? Actually, I wanted it to act like in your "problem" situation (ie, not scanning for a new freq but hopping to the next stored station). I'll have to try that this evening.

This is a universal double din unit,

1din means 185mm*165mm*50mm（about 1.97inches）

2din means 185mm*165mm*100mm（about 3.94inches）

Is this unit not suitable with your car friend? if your car dashboard is perfect for putting on this unit there's no need for a installation kit, if you are not not familiar with installation, we sincerely suggest that you find a technician who knows this well to help you.

There is a easy idiot proof solution: The SD recovery method bypo posted. It involves two command lines in linux (use a live image of Ubuntu), a 4GB+ SD card and a working map slot.

If you manage to fuse a Recovery SDCARD once you could use it in your user slot for music, movies, and if needed again just copy a recovery firmware back and insert it in map slot.

First of all, I do apriciate the work that's been done and the efforts made by everyone, let there be no doubt about that ! :good:

But I'm worried about the idea of flashing another, pretty much undocumented firm into my unit, only to find out that I'd swapped one problem for a bigger one. To exclude that, I'd need to be able to make a backup of my present situation which I would be able to restore at any time. And unless I'm wrong, that's not the case now.

In other words : I'm too much a chicken to try this.:p
[Android Head-Units] monk2413:
So I just have to say thank you to everyone here! I just got through reading this thread....which was no quick task! But I learned soooo much about this radio. So for that I thank you! But now for my problem... I'm having a strange issue with my WiFi. Yesterday when I started my unit I had no WiFi. I went to check the settings and it was off. Seemed like an easy fix...just turn it back on right?... No. It just turns it self right back off after a few seconds and never even picks up any APs. I fiddle around and turned my radio off and on a few times and it started working again so I just ignored. But now it's back and I can't seem to fix it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
[Android Head-Units] Gassi2106:
Normally we would have but can also use a ROM that is written exactly the same hardware for the S150 devices (for example the Hertotab C8 Tablet, which also uses the SMDKV210 mainboard). for there is also a CWM and JB available in version 4.1 and 4.2 (Cyanogenmod)(see Here). Or iam wrong?

Gassi2106
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
Hmm, I would love it if it was the case, but I think it's a bit more complicated than that.

There ia a layer of hardware with some sort of eprom driving most of the built in hardware that makes this a head unit and not just a tablet. Amps, dvd player, phone bluetooth etc. I can't speculate how much of it might be part of the boot loader, but for sure some of the apks are able to control or at least communicate with it. Without sources or some serious reverse engenering that would more than likely brake something.

It would be awesome to figure out in more depth how the two sides communicate.

So i flashed tin2001's firmware onto my TD620A... the process went fine with no errors. But when it starts to boot up I get a screen that says "Touchscreen Calibration" with a cross that I'm obviously supposed to press. I've tried pressing it and holding it with no luck. I'm just stuck there... Any Ideas would be great!

[Android Head-Units] monk2413:
Well actually I fixed the WiFi issue. Turns out the USB cable coming out of the unit had a bad connection at the head, so I soldered a new end on and the WiFi started working again. But in the process of trying to fix the WiFi i reset the device back to factory which ended up making me lose all the preloaded aps that came on the unit.... So I decided since I lost everything any ways I may as well root it. So i just flashed the rooted firmware and now I'm just stuck at the "Touchscreen Calibration" screen

And as far as the S150.. I'm honestly not sure. I tried keeping up with this thread but It's alll over the place. I have the Xtrons TD620A it has the Freescale I.MX53 CPU

MCU 2.11.1-1-10-1

System Version 2.20.21
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
That should be the S150... Is it capacitive or resistive? Is there a rooted firmware for that one?

Seems like the whole thread has become about the S150 variants, I haven't bought one yet, I was leaning towards the OUKU... Any OUKU users/tinkerers still around? Speaking of variants... which one does xxx . ebay . com/itm/290833252457 fall under? Anyone has any feedback on it? Seems like OUKU, radio app looks different though. Would rooted firmware work and if so I'm curious to know if the radio app changes or if it stays (that would mean it's part of the "other board's" eprom...
[Android Head-Units] monk2413:
It's capacitive. I got everything working tho. I had to flash the stock firmware from daveaus first... Then flash the rooted firmware.

But yeah... This thread is about so many different units I can't keep track of it anymore. We need to create individual threads or something. With as many people with these units they may need their own section soon.

As far as that unit..... it does appear to have the same firmware but there is no telling until someone can verify. I think if hypothetically you could root it using the same firmware as the rest of us then the radio UI would change to be like the one we currently have. I'm by no means an expert on this but from what I can tell the app and UI is handled by the radio APK but the hardware is handled by the second board. I've tried killing the radio app itself, the radio continues to play tho. This is all just speculation tho!
